Lyrics
"Publicly subsidized! Privately profitable!"
The anthem of the upper-tier, puppeteer untouchable
Focus a moment, nod in approval
Bury our head back in the bar-codes of these neo-colonials
Our former nemesis
The romance of the nation-state
Now plays fund-raiser for a new brand of power-concentrate
Try again, but now we're confused
What is "class-war"? Is this class war? Yes, this is class war
And I'm just a kid
I can't believe that I gotta worry about this kind of shit!
What a stupid world!
And it's just beautiful
No regard for principle
What a stupid world
Born, hired, disposed
Where that job lands, everybody knows
You can tell by the smile on the CEO
Environmental restraints are about to go
You can bet laws will be set
To ensure the benefit of unrestricted labor-laws
Kept in place by displaced government death squads
They own us
They own us
Produce us
Consume us
They own us
They own us
Produce us
Consume us
They own us
They own us
Produce us
Consume us
Punk rock sucks
The bands are only in it for the bucks
The people who believe it are canucks
Cuz they're playin' the man and not the pucks
Punk rock fucking sucks
